Success Stories/Case Studies

We focus on results

Case Study #1

$2 Million in Annual Savings with Multi-Factory Installs

What was the need?

Large multi-national cable manufacturer required a Yield Management system that would provide visibility and quality control testing. Pushing massive volumes, this manufacturer needed something that could scale across multiple factory lines and maintain a high level of performance.

Execution

Datacard was deployed in less than one week with absolutely no additional IT overhead require to bring the system up. We worked with management to spool up multi-site replication and gave real-time visibility into the factory floor at unprecedented scale in the organization.

What was the ROI?

Case Study #2

What was the need?

Operations needed a system that could reduce NPI cycle and increase operator efficiency. Engineering needed more visibility into yield and product performance.

Execution

Runcard and Datacard were installed in less than 4 weeks and on-site consultants remained on to help bring about additional efficiencies to the organization as a whole. The system gave unprecedented visibility into the production line and manufacturing excellence has increased dramatically.

What was the ROI?

Reduced operator overhead per unit from 7% to 0.16% on high volume production. Ramped to volume faster than ever and reduced NPI cycles.

Case Study #3

Innovative bio-medical device manufacturer brings production to scale in less than 2 months with Datacard + Runcard

What was the need?

They had to ramp production dramatically and in a hurry. With the help of Runcard and Datacard they are able to get control of their systems and automate significant portions of their manual processes. From bar code labeling to bulk unit transacting their entire system needed a efficiency upgrade.

Execution

Two month deployment and hands-on consulting project brought this manufacturer up to speed very quickly. Both systems were brought up in parallel in the cloud to reduce IT overhead and reduced initial infrastructure investment.

What was the ROI?

Runcard alone has significantly decreased the time it takes to assemble and test their units. As Datacard comes on board the visibility into their Wafer performance provides a dramatic new way of tracing production and quality assurance.

Case Study #4

Space Military customer cuts data entry time in half with Runcard

What was the need?

This was a small manufacturer with a highly technical and specialized product needing OEE and Machine automation in their test and assembly line. This their highly complex process a starter MES wouldn't solve their technical challenges. In addition they required process consulting to help with the configuration of their work flows to best optimize production volume.

Execution

Runcard was deployed quickly and painlessly with no additional IT overhead required. Engineers and operators were up and running with ease and management was able to focus on securing more customers and able to ensure customers that they could meet demand.

What was the ROI?

Runcard was deployed and very quickly labor efficiencies doubled.
